The New York Yankees, with the depleted roster we all know by now, opened up 2013 losing two of three to Boston and two of three to Detroit.  BUT, the last game against Detroit was a 7-0 win and the Yanks downed ace Justin Verlander and CC Sabathia rebounded for a win, so the momentum is there to ride.  And now the pinstripes head to Cleveland for a four-game set.  Here is a series preview: Read M

One of the tallest orders in baseball is facing an ace who has an array of pitches and can go deep into the game.  Add to that someone of Justin Verlander's ability who is in complete physical and mental control.  The Yankees have that task today.

You could argue that if you were to give a theme to the 2013 season for the New York Yankees, it would probably be "the good, the bad and the ugly." This afternoon's game at Comerica Park in Detroit was a perfect example of that theme, as the Yankees dropped the opener of a three-game set to the Tigers, by a score of 8-3.

There is plenty to choose from this weekend.  This is one of the best and busiest times on the sports calendar.  And you generally get that way when seasons change.  So, here you have it.   Choice one:  Duh.  Final Four in Atlanta...

The action on the field may not be the only heart-stopping thing fans of the West Michigan Whitecaps see this season.

Later today, the Baseball Writers Association of America will announce the 2012 MVP Award winners, and the biggest debate exists in the American League between Detroit Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera and Los Angeles Angels rookie outfielder Mike Trout...

A TV anchor had really bad luck and a bird had really good aim during a live segment before the World Series.

The San Francisco Giants have gotten off to a hot start in the 2012 World Series, taking a 2-0 lead over the Detroit Tigers. Between the terrific starts from Barry Zito and Madison Bumgarner, as well as the crazy bunt that stayed in fair territory for Gregor Blanco during Game Two last night, some people think that the "baseball gods" are at work for the Giants...

The New York Yankees should be ashamed of themselves for their awful performance in the American League Championship Series, let alone the entire 2012 MLB Playoffs. The bats went silent, hitting under .200 for the entire postseason, while the pitching (for the most part) carried this club...

The New York Yankees can pitch, but they can't hit worth a lick. The Yankees are down 3-0 in the series and will look to avoid elimination tonight, with their ace CC Sabathia on the mound against Max Scherzer. Would you prefer the team just put you out of your misery and lose, or prolong "the inevitable" and win tonight's game...

Tonight is Game Three of the American League Championship Series, as the Yankees visit Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers. The Yankees have failed to live up to their moniker as the "Bronx Bombers" throughout the entire postseason. Who do you think is the most vital Yankee hitter in their lineup for tonight's game...
